Biography: Janice was born in 2004 to Norton and Deborah Cresner in Salem. Both being hard-working chemical engineers they didn't have much time to take care of her as a child. They could afford a babysitter who could take of her and were financially well off due to their jobs, but when she was old enough to go to school she spent much time at her aunt's house. Therefore, she grew up with her cousins who were around her age and very into sports, so she started playing sports with them. She eventually grew to love all kinds of team sports, and especially grew on playing streetball as a hobby. Janice was more influenced by the lifestyle of her cousins than the lifestyle of her parents.

Janice picked up playing the violin at the age of seven due to Deborah, who used to be a hobby pianist, deciding that a kid needs to learn an instrument at a young age so it's easier for them in comparison to learning it at a later age. Deborah picked the violin for Janice because her former boyfriend was a violinist and she was fascinated by the violin. Norton and Deborah paid for a violin teacher and Janice took the lessons. Deborah was also of the opinion that since the violin is harder to play than the piano, Janice should learn violin as a kid, as she could pick up piano at a later time. At first, Janice got frustrated with learning the violin and wanted to quit early on, but over time she grew to love the instrument. She liked to show off at the performances, which helped her gain confidence. It's a hobby she continued practising to this day, she even ended up joining the school orchestra.

In school, she started getting into sports as well. She went to the track team as she already was a pretty active kid. She was one of the faster kids and she enjoyed the fact that she was one of the better runners, so she liked the competitiveness of it as well as being better than the others. She also picked up basketball in school, a hobby she had deep interests in, it being a sport she played with her cousins early on. She watches the game as well on screen and she is a fan of the Boston Celtics. It's a fun game for her, so much so that she also enjoys playing streetball. She is regularly skilled in balling and plays on the defense.

In class, she tries to do well at math as well as sciences due to her parents being endeavoured in the field of science, so she puts much more effort into these subjects as to not disappoint her parents. She also likes PE, due to her athletic nature. She's very earnest in studying because her parents pressure her into performing well or she has punishments such as limiting her phone or meeting with friends. She tries to be a model student and show the teachers her knowledge and has tendencies to be a teacher's pet in some classes.

Outside of class, she is good at finding friends, but has trouble keeping them. She gets along with her classmates on the surface level, but can easily be aloof to others especially if they don't share the same circles. She easily gets into fights with friends and is not that forgiving because she often doesn't see the point of the other people. She also holds petty grudges because of that. This argumentative nature and propensity to hold grudges costs her friends and limits her social circles.

She started drinking early, at age 14, introduced by her cousin Tim, who was two years older and also super into drinking. Tim had older friends he'd drink with, even though Aunt Vivien forbid him to. She began drinking more regularly as she grew older, going to parties with peers or with her cousins. She also started her habit of smoking cigarettes at parties, in group circles; a habit that would help her relax. She didn't mind taking the risks of drinking and smoking, because she wanted to live her life to the fullest. While her parents did not mind her drinking alcohol, because they were young once too, they got really angry with her once they discovered her smoking. They punished her by taking away her cell phone for a limited amount of time. Janice never snitched on Tim. She started only smoking at parties or outside. She still has the urge to smoke when stressed out. This lifestyle had a negative effect on her health, and she noticed that when she started getting worse in the tracking team. She began a low-carb diet, in an attempt to balance out the harmful effects of her drinking and smoking. She started going vegetarian at age sixteen, for the diet and eventually dipped into veganism and has stayed ever since.

She quit the track team due to her poor performance, but picked up a new hobby to keep herself active: geocaching. She finds it very fascinating to travel the area to uncover things and solve puzzles. It keeps her daily routine fresh and she loves it. It gave her a new way to live life to the fullest because she'd experience so much through her travels. She has gotten some new friends through it; she is very selective in picking them, preferring those who she gets along with and who have a similar attitude to hers.

For a student job, Janice babysits in her free time. She plans on going into economics to have a stable job since she excelled in math. For preparation, she already took some online courses in business. She applied to several business schools in Massachussetts and has recently received an invite for an interview at the MIT in January, for which she looks forward to attending.

Advantages: Janice has a very competitive nature which might make her play the game. She's also experienced in nature due to her geocaching hobby. Disadvantages: She is very daring and could risk her life. Her smoking and drinking habits have had a negative effect on her stamina. Janice has a tendency to be argumentative and uncooperative with whom she cannot see eye-to-eye.
